I believe the answer is:

incase

(Other definitions for incase that I've seen before include "For fear that" , "In order to allow for eventualities" , "Because of the possibility of" , "line" , "On the off chance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post, The New York Times and the L.A. Times Daily.
